I've been archiving my full DVD, Blu-Ray (1080p and 4K) collection for a couple of weeks now.
I'm at a stage where I go through the disks that would fail. In most cases a raw backup or a disk cleanup fix the problem. I got bad luck with 1 very badly scratched DVD (could not restore 1 TV episode, not a big deal). But my Arrival Blu-
Ray is giving me odd problem.
- No visible scratch.
- Disk has been cleaned UP.
- All non-main title content can be extracted (to .mkv).
- I can watch the Movie on my PS5.
- When I load it in VLC: VLC don't want to play it (not compatible)
I tried a "backup" with MakeMKV and I even tried redumper. I just can't backup the disk. I wonder if it's really a "physical" problem, if it would, I assume my PS5 would not play the movie?
Am I missing something? Should I just give up and get a new copy?
(I'll try to update this post ASAP with the exact MakeMKV output when it fails - currently trying once more to archive it)

The optical drive can not correctly read some spots on the disc. You can try cleaning the disc again. You can replace the disc. Or try the disc in a different optical drive.
Disc players are designed to skip over read errors and hope you don't notice the resulting glitch. MakeMKV labors to make a perfect copy of the disc.
